I gave an example, and not the coroner's report of this shooting. If you come to a force-on-force class, I can easily show you how you are more likely to hit extremities than the torso in a close-up fight like this one. The real world is nothing like a 180-degree squared range.

There you go trying to sell me something. That's what I've been sayibg this whole time, the mall ninja culture just uses fear to sell a product. That's all it is.

For example, a natural reaction in a fight is to put arms and hands in front as protection against the other person. The robber was likely not prepared to actually use the gun as he did not fire a single shot. Once he realized that he was in over his head, he likely put his arms and hands in front, resulting in 8 hits to the arms.

Your argument in post #83 was that the shooter was a bad shot. My argument in post #88 was that you have no clue about self defense scenarios and that you didn't even bother to read the article before commenting.

So now your argument relyes on people showing up in person and paying you money for a class? HA!

Since the whole incident will be over in 2 shots and you think you need a spare mag for malfunctions, you think your auto will malfunction within 2 shots.

So either your auto is crap, or you don't maintain your auto, or you're a bad shot, or you're whole argument is wrong.

You don't need a spare mag. Only mall-ninjas trying to sell you something say that; like you trying to sell me a class lol.

I am happy to take your money. I don't own a firearms training school or range, but if you are willing to pay me anyway, sure. My post was an invitation. I guess you just couldn't handle that. Too bad.

Everyone knows that the vast majority of self defense shootings are over in 0 to a few shots, but some self defense shootings are not. I chose not to become a victim of those. You chose to forfeit your life if it ever comes to that. Your choice, not mine.

The rest of your post is making up a straw man argument that not a single poster in this thread or forum supports.

I guess that means Luke McCoy, the founder of USA Carry, and Col Ben Findley are a mall ninjas too, right?

-Cylinders are harder to get out of timing than an auto is to get the slide just out of battery so it won't fire. Cylinders out of timing are corrected in less time than it took you to read this sentence.

-Bad primers and bullets are caused by bad amunition and occure in auto's amunition as well. NATO rifle cartrages have crimped primers for a reason. Buy quality ammo and inspect every round.

-Reloading speed is a matter of practice. Mr Yeager should take a class.

I note he didn't mention how revolvers are far easier to conceal than autos, which is the main reason I carry a revolver instead of an auto.

You seem to think you have all the answers about what weapon to carry, extra ammunition, etc, but you are going solely on your own thoughts. One in particular is the carry of a revolver. My wife has a S&W .38 Chief's Special which she can carry in her purse, is easily accessible, and no printing. On the other hand, my revolver is a S&W Mod. 586 .357 with a 4" bbl. I don't care who you are, or your body size, that weapon is very difficult to conceal. I have several semi-autos, from .380 up to a 1911, which are are more easily concealed than my revolver, consequently, I always carry one of them rather than it. I don't use a speed loader to reload the revolver so loading one individual round at a time would not be conducive to having a good outcome in a gunfight. When I carry the semi-auto, I have at least two extra magazines, simply to satisfy myself, not to appease someone I don't know on a gun forum. Some of those responding to you have some credible qualifications from which to form an opinion, how about you?

This tells me you haven't reviewed any of the material I've linked, not the videos of the policeman why carries a revolver for it's shape (no slide backing to catch on the pocket, how it doesn't look like a gun even when it prints) or the old colector who switched to revolvers since he can't train like he used to and also now has a job requiring business attire.
